Also some other demo titles I tried from Loki games just work fine, although I had to poke some of those install scripts a little bit to get it working on FreeBSD. Are you sure that there is no program accessing your sound card when you start qIII? It happened once to me that some sound daemon was started automatically with enlightenment, blocking the card for programs that were not aware of using this thing. I have some extra libs added in /usr/compat/linux/lib (or /.../usr/lib, don't remember), among those are libaudiofile, esound and libmikmod. If you want I can have a look at the machine tonight and tell for sure what I added. I added these with rpm in a chroot'ed environment so they will get in the right place. AFAIK it is necessary that linux binaries use linux libs. I suppose you are using pcm? I had some trouble (sound disappearing) with snd, but those drivers are deprecated anyway. Karel.
